When the Swans offer Cripps a truck load of money he'll change his tune pretty quickly.

I'm hearing he is genuinely torn between being loyal to Carlton and a Buddy type Swans offer.When the Swans offer Cripps a truck load of money he'll change his tune pretty quickly.
I'm hearing he is happy to go to Hawfs for half what he is being paid right now - as long as Clarko gives him a guitar lesson.I'm hearing he is genuinely torn between being loyal to Carlton and a Buddy type Swans offer.
Asking for 2 x top 5 picks is way overs for Cripps. He's a beast and would be a good get, but that's ridiculous. Winning a contested ball and feeding outside to others is not enough. His overlap run is poor. I've seen him jogging too often when he doesn't have the ball. His field kicking and set shots are below average.
We've had a pure inside player like him in Pridda. Opposition teams used to sag off him, lock down Shuey and Gaff killing his handball outlet options and you'd see Pridda wheeling around in a half circle, and then have to hack it forward himself. Exactly what oppo teams wanted him to do. Possibly why all of those Cripps clearance stats don't translate to wins when you don't have the outside talent around him. Cripps is a good contested mark but if your 10cm bigger than Pridda, you should be.
Players that can win the ball in congestion and break the line through strength or speed AND create by foot are the real elite players. Think Danger, Dusty etc currently but peak West Coast Judd before the adductor tear is the best I've seen at that. To think you're getting more than 2 x mid to late first rounders like we paid for Kelly is a little fanciful.
Swans clearly value loyalty and integrity and they’re prepared to pay big money for that..I'm hearing he is genuinely torn between being loyal to Carlton and a Buddy type Swans offer.

Didn't expect much else from a WC supporterI will wait patiently to see how this plays out as I don`t expect Cripps to be at Carlton next year ..
In that case Merrett will replace Cripps well enough .Will be a great replacement for Yeo.
Unlikely.In that case Merrett will replace Cripps well enough .
You guys had more chance of daniher staying this year than Merrett staying next year , he's gonski .Unlikely.
If Merrett could play Cripps role we wouldn't need a big bodied mid.You guys had more chance of daniher staying this year than Merrett staying next year , he's gonski .
Possibly but it won’t be to you guys and whoever it is the price will be high as would CrippsYou guys had more chance of daniher staying this year than Merrett staying next year , he's gonski .

Uploaded yesterday, maybe this will change your mind...
I personally don't want Merrett he will more than likely be at Collingwood .Possibly but it won’t be to you guys and whoever it is the price will be high as would Cripps

I skimmed over it a bit and something stood out was he wishes to play in finals with a tight contested affair..
Carlton should be positive heading into 2021 after some securing some nice additions to the team ..Unfortunately I have Carlton missing the Top 8 ..
Freo's list is actually in top shape. They are just haunted by forward deliveryI'm obviously biased, but Carlton's list is looking better than the Pies, Dees, GWS and Freo. We can easily squeeze in between 6th-8th if everything goes to plan.

I can't see Cripps leaving Carlton but the mrs factor is always important to consider
We would have to have an all mighty retirement list to afford someone like CrippsIf he did go back home I would suggest Freo would be the one even though all his good mates play at WC.
